ABSTRACT

Entende-se por infarto maligno aquele que acomete mais da metade do território da artéria cerebral média, atingindo níveis de mortalidade de até 80%. A craniotomia descompressiva tem se mostrado como técnica operatória capaz de reduzir significativamente essas taxas. No entanto, persistem na literatura muitas dúvidas quanto à indicação do procedimento relacionadas a idade, hemisfério cerebral acometido, time cirúrgico e status neurológico pré-operatório. Analisamos 10 pacientes vítimas de acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) isquêmicos extensos, tratados no hospital SEMPER-BH, levando-se esses fatores em consideração. Concluímos que a idade e o quadro neurológico prévio ao momento cirúrgico são os dois fatores mais importantes no prognóstico do paciente submetido à craniotomia descompressiva.


It is understood that malignant infarction affects more than half of the middle cerebral artery territory and reaches mortality rates up to 80%. A decompressive craniotomy has been recommended as the surgical technique that can significantly reduce these rates. However, many questions persist in the literature as the indication of the procedure related to age, hemisphere affected, surgical time and preoperative neurological status. We analyzed 10 patients who suffered extensive ischemic stroke treated in hospital SEMPER-BH taking these factors into consideration. We conclude that age and neurological status prior to the surgical time are the two most important factors in the prognosis of patients undergoing decompressive craniotomy.
